Possible Spoilers W/R/T Kett Origin Included in Launch Trailer

We had a short discussion with dalinne in the romance thread.

If true, I will be deeply disappointed in the lack of creativity it implies.

Something else about the Kett I thought was interesting. At 40 seconds someone (Sara maybe) says "Who are these guys?" and Alec Ryder says "Visitors, just like us".

Maybe the Kett aren't from Andromeda either, or are from outside the Helios Cluster?

After that trailer, I'd say the Angara and Krogan are being used in experiments.

definitely safe to say that the kett and angara look a little too similar.



edit;; though i definitely get the feeling that it won't be as cut and dry evil as with the reapers. For all we know the Archon (Arkon?) fella is just trying to save Andromeda from the black space goo, albeit in his own twisted way. Who knows, maybe after the first game we'll start working together to stop the bigger threat (the scourge) similarly to how the Geth were the main bad guys in the trilogy before the reapers came along and forced us to work together.

The theory takes hold considering what we see in the trailer and that we already saw the kett doing it with the Fiends, if not for the Adhi as well (since they have a four legged doglike boned creature).
It'd be kind of lazy, expecially if they fail in differentiating it well enough from the Darkspawn and Collectors.
If true, if begs the question on the Archon, since his features are different. Is the one of the 'true'/original kett, or another variation?
In the latter...please, don't be human.

Meh, yea, that seams to be it... pity, I thought they came up with something more interesting this time.

I don't really see the "space darkspawn" ressemblance. Darkspawn are more like a corrupting desease with no brain (except a few select) and the Kett seems to all able to make decisions and have a strong military and religious organisation.

And for the part Archon = Last Remnant I don't believe so, it has the same features than other Kett just a different bone structure. We saw 4 kind of Kett creature :
-The humanoid Kett
-The Krogan Kett
-The Fiend Kett
-The doggy Kett
They all share common features like the bone armor and the darkblue skin and blood. However we can still difference their original race and I don't see difference between classic kett and the archon.

I see the kett as a religious order in a very old fashion "convert yourself or die". That's why in the first trailer the archon say "Surrender" when they are in obvious superiority or in the launch trailer "no more mercy" implying they did not attack on sight on every occasion. The conversion process would be genetic and possibly mentaly. Is is forced indoctrination or does it stop to genetic mutation ?
I also believe that Angara and Kett are the same race, which would explain the Angaran resistance. In the first cinematic trailer we could see a bunch of Angaran entering in a bluish remnant like vault, maybe that what turn the Angaran into Kett in the first place and would explain why the Kett are focus on remnant technology.

In the 4k trailer we saw a very unique plant and there was a comment explaining that there is no way such a organism would survive underground implying that the remnants take care of that and that this plant is not endemic to this place and possibly created through genetic manipulation, that could explain the Kett interest.
On last thing is habitat 7, which was thought to be a tropical paradise but was quite in fact quite the opposite. I don't think the AI was wrong, I think the planet was a paradise 634 years before we arrive and the same fate wait the rest of Heleus. My question is the role of the Remnant in this (and the Kett). Are they monitoring those planets ? Causing those changes ? Trying to put a stop on them ?
It does look like the original "Dark matter" story.

Oh my! Are the Kett looking for the way to the Underverse? And is Riddick a hidden 7th squad mate?

I really hope it isnt like that at all. That they are just experimenting no converstion. I got enough of that in the original trilogy. We lost renegade because it was to Shepard. But apperently the same story elements are not to much like the last games.

Space Darkspawn Cerberus Reapers Collectors Demons

It's lazy because the general idea was used many times recently by Bioware, including the last ME game.
